PR Studies

Reasons to love PROPenMic

He's done it again. Robert French, the educator who offered the world PR Blogs, has now gone further with PROpenMic. Someone has described it aptly as 'Facebook for the PR community'.

Here's why I like it already.

• There's something fun and anarchic (lords of misrule, world turned upside down) about the speed at which the tradional model of education is being reinvented. In the old world, old people knew more than young people, so young people tried hard to become old(er) people. See where I'm going with this?
• You never know what you'll learn. One lesson for me came from Robert French, responding to my teacher's angst with this: 'I try to motivate every day. I fail every day.'

That's worth the entry fee alone, except that this is another Web 2.0 site with no fee and no ads. There's no catch, but like any social network, its value grows as people gather and conversations develop. Please come and join us.
